connecting and connecting battery .
3.2 Safety precautions when working on ve‐

hicles with start/stop system
When performing repairs on vehicles with start/stop system, note
the following:
WARNING
Risk of injury due to automatic engine start on vehicles with

start/stop system.
♦ On vehicles with activated start/stop system (this is indi‐
cated by a message in the instrument cluster display), the
engine may start automatically on demand.
♦ Therefore it is important to ensure that the start/stop sys‐
tem is deactivated when performing repairs (switch off
ignition, if required switch on ignition again).

3.3 Safety precautions when using testers

and measuring instruments during a
road test
Note the following if testers and measuring instruments have to
be used during a road test:
WARNING
Accidents can be caused if the driver is distracted by test

equipment while road-testing, or if test equipment is not prop‐
erly secured.
Persons sitting in the front passenger's seat could be injured if
the airbag is triggered in an accident.
• The use of test equipment while driving causes distraction.
• There is an increased risk of injury if test equipment is not
secured.
♦ Test equipment must always be secured on the rear seat
with a strap and operated from the rear seat by a second
person.
3.4 Safety precautions when working on the

subframe
Please note the following warnings when working on the sub‐
frame:
Caution
Risk of damage to running gear components.

♦ The vehicle must NOT be lowered onto its wheels if the
engine/gearbox mountings, steering rack or subframe
cross brace are not properly installed.
♦ The vehicle must NOT be supported by applying a trolley
jack or similar to the subframe or subframe cross brace.

cooling system
When working on the cooling system note the following warnings:
WARNING
Hot steam/hot coolant can escape - risk of scalding.

♦ The cooling system is under pressure when the engine is
hot.
♦ To allow pressure to dissipate, cover filler cap on coolant
expansion tank with cloth and open carefully.
Risk of injury as the radiator fans may start up automatically.
♦ Unplug electrical connectors before starting to work in the
area of radiator cowl.
3. Safety precautions 5
Caution
Overheating can occur if the filler cap is not fitted properly.

♦ Close filler cap on coolant expansion tank (make sure it
engages).

exhaust system
WARNING
Please note the following warnings when working on all parts

of the exhaust system:
♦ Wear gloves (e.g. rubber, not textile) and safety goggles
to avoid contact with eyes and skin - risk of injury.
♦ Do not dismantle exhaust gas temperature sender - risk
of injury.
Caution
Risk of damage to flexible joint.

♦ Do not bend flexible joint more than 10°.
♦ Install flexible joint so that it is not under tension.
♦ Take care not to damage wire mesh on flexible joint.

4.1 Rules for cleanliness when working on

fuel supply system, injection system and
turbocharger
Even small amounts of dirt can cause malfunctions. For this rea‐
son, when working on the fuel supply system, the injection system
or the turbocharger, please observe the following basic rules
carefully:
♦ Carefully clean connection points and the surrounding area
with engine cleaner or brake cleaner and dry thoroughly before
opening.
♦ Seal off open pipes/lines and connections immediately with
clean plugs, e.g. from engine bung set - VAS 6122- .
♦ Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and
cover them over. Do not use fluffy cloths.
♦ Carefully cover or seal open components if repairs cannot be
carried out immediately.
♦ Only install clean components; replacement parts should only
be unpacked immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts
that have been previously unpacked and stored away loose
(e.g. in toolboxes, etc.).
♦ When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air.
Do not move the vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
♦ Protect unplugged electrical connectors against dirt and mois‐
ture and make sure connections are dry when attaching.
4.2 Checking for leaks in the fuel system

– Start the engine and let it run at medium speed for a few mi‐
nutes.
– Switch off ignition.
– Check the entire fuel system for leaks.
– If leaks are found although the connections have been tight‐
ened to the correct torque, the relevant component must be
renewed.
– Then carry out a test drive with at least one full-power accel‐
eration.
– Then check high-pressure part of fuel system again for leak‐
age.
4. General repair instructions 7

4.3 Foreign particles in engine

♦ When working on the engine, all open inlet and exhaust ports
must be sealed with suitable plugs (e.g. from engine bung set
- VAS 6122- ) to prevent foreign particles from entering the
engine.
Note
If the turbocharger has suffered mechanical damage

⇒ page 201
4.4 Contact corrosion!

Contact corrosion can occur if unsuitable fasteners are used (e.g.
bolts, nuts, washers, etc.).
For this reason, only fasteners with a special surface coating are
used.
Additionally, all rubber and plastic parts and all adhesives are
made of non-conductive materials.
Always install new parts if you are not sure whether used parts
can be re-fitted ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue .
Note the following:
♦ We recommend using only genuine replacement parts; these
have been tested and are compatible with aluminium.
♦ We recommend the use of Audi accessories.
♦ Damage caused by contact corrosion is not covered under
warranty.
4.5 Routing and attachment of pipes, hoses

and wiring
♦ Mark fuel lines, hydraulic lines, vacuum lines, lines for activa‐
ted charcoal filter and electrical wiring etc. before removal so
they can be re-installed in the original positions and correctly
connected. Make sketches or take photographs if necessary.
♦ To prevent damaging pipes, hoses and wiring, ensure suffi‐
cient clearance from all moving or hot components in engine
compartment (little space in engine compartment).
4.6 Installing radiators, condensers and

charge air coolers
Even when the radiator, condenser and charge air cooler are cor‐
rectly installed, slight impressions may be visible on the fins of
these components. This does not mean that the components are
damaged. If the fins are only very slightly distorted, this does not
justify renewal of the radiator, charge air cooler or condenser.
4.7 Checking vacuum system

Special tools and workshop equipment required

♦ Hand vacuum pump - VAS 6213-
Procedure
– Check all vacuum lines in the complete vacuum system for:
♦ Cracks
♦ Traces of animal bites
♦ Kinked or crushed lines
♦ Lines porous or leaking
– Check vacuum line to solenoid valve and from solenoid valve
to corresponding component.
– If a fault is stored in the event memory, check the vacuum lines
leading to the relevant component and also check the remain‐
ing vacuum lines in the system.
– If it is not possible to build up a vacuum with the hand vacuum
pump - VAS 6213- or if the vacuum pressure drops again im‐
mediately, check the hand vacuum pump and connecting
hoses for leaks.

gine.
– Remove drain plug -1- and drain off coolant.
Note
Disregard -item 2-.
– Release hose clip -arrow-, disconnect rear coolant hose from

engine oil cooler and drain off remaining coolant.
Filling
Caution
Always use distilled water for mixing coolant additives as this

ensures optimum corrosion protection.

Note
♦ The effectiveness of the coolant is greatly influenced by the

quality of the water with which it is mixed. Because water may
contain different substances depending on the country or even
the region, the water quality to be used for cooling systems
has been specified. Distilled water meets all the requirements
and is therefore recommended for use when topping up or fill‐
ing up with coolant.
♦ Use only coolant additives listed in the ⇒ Electronic parts
catalogue (ETKA) . Other coolant additives could seriously
impair in particular the anti-corrosion properties. The resulting
damage could lead to loss of coolant and consequently to se‐
rious engine damage.
♦ Coolant with the recommended mixture ratio prevents frost
and corrosion damage and stops scaling. At the same time it
raises the boiling point of the fluid in the system. For this rea‐
son the cooling system must be filled all year round with the
correct coolant additive.
♦ Because of its high boiling point, the coolant improves engine
reliability under heavy loads, particularly in countries with trop‐
ical climates.
♦ The refractometer - T10007A- MUST be used to determine the
current level of frost protection.
♦ The mixture must guarantee frost protection down to at least
-25 ℃ (in countries with arctic climate: down to -36 ℃). The
amount of antifreeze should only be increased if greater frost
protection is required in very cold climates. This must only be
down to -48 ℃, however, as otherwise the cooling efficiency
of the coolant is impaired.
♦ The coolant concentration must not be reduced by adding wa‐
ter even in warmer seasons and in warmer countries. Frost
protection must be provided to at least -25 ℃.
♦ Read off the level of frost protection on the scale for the rele‐
vant coolant additive.
♦ The temperature indicated on the refractometer - T10007A-
corresponds to the temperature at which the first ice crystals
can form in the coolant.
♦ Do not reuse coolant.
♦ Only use water/coolant additive as a lubricant for coolant ho‐
ses.
Recommended mixture ratio for coolant

• Coolant additive (40 %) and distilled water (60 %) for frost
protection to -25 ℃
• Coolant additive (50 %) and distilled water (50 %) for frost
protection to -36 ℃
• Coolant additive: ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue (ETKA)

Procedure
– Close drain plug -1-.
– Connect rear coolant hose to engine oil cooler -arrow-.
– Fill reservoir of -VAS 6096- with at least 8 litres of premixed

coolant (according to recommended ratio):
– Fit adapter for cooling system tester - V.A.G 1274/8- onto
coolant expansion tank.
– Attach cooling system charge unit - VAS 6096- to adapter -
V.A.G 1274/8- .
– Run vent hose -1- into a small container -2-.
Note
The vented air draws along a small amount of coolant, which

should be collected.
– Close both valves -A- and -B- (turn lever at right angles to di‐
rection of flow).
– Connect hose -3- to compressed air.
• Pressure: 6 ... 10 bar.

– Open valve -B- by setting lever in direction of flow.

• The suction jet pump generates a partial vacuum in the cooling
system; the needle on the gauge should move into the green
zone.
– Also briefly open valve -A- (turn lever in direction of flow) so
that hose on reservoir of -VAS 6096- can fill with coolant.
– Close valve -A- again.
– Leave valve -B- open for another 2 minutes.
• The suction jet pump continues to generate a partial vacuum
in the cooling system; the needle on the gauge should remain
in the green zone.
– Close valve -B-.
• The needle on the gauge should stop in the green zone. The
vacuum level in the cooling system is then sufficient for sub‐
sequent filling.
Note
♦ If the needle does not reach the green zone, repeat the proc‐
ess.
♦ Check cooling system for leaks if the vacuum is not main‐
tained.
– Detach compressed air hose.

– Open valve -A-.
• The vacuum in the cooling system causes the coolant to be
drawn out of the reservoir of -VAS 6096- ; the cooling system
is then filled.
– Detach cooling system charge unit - VAS 6096- from adapter
-V.A.G 1274/8- on coolant expansion tank.
– Attach pipe -V.A.G 1274/10- onto adapter -V.A.G 1274/8- .

– Open bleeder screw -arrow- until coolant flows out at bleeder

hole in coolant hose.
– Close bleeder screw.
– On vehicles with auxiliary heater, switch heater on (for about
30 seconds) and then off again.
– Close filler cap on coolant expansion tank (make sure it en‐
gages).
– Start engine.
– Set temperature to “HI” for all zones and select lowest possible
blower speed (= 0).
– Switch off air conditioner compressor (press AC button).
• LED in button should not light up.
– Run engine for 3 minutes at 2000 rpm.
– Allow engine to run at idling speed until both large coolant ho‐
ses at radiator become warm.
– Run engine for 1 minute at 2000 rpm.
– Switch off ignition and allow engine to cool down.
– Check coolant level.

• The coolant level must be at the “MAX” marking when the en‐
gine is cold.
• The coolant level can be above the “MAX” marking when the
engine is warm.

water.
– Open valve -3-.
Caution
Risk of damage if pressure is set too high.

♦ The pressure must not exceed 0.5 bar.
– Adjust pressure to 0.5 bar via pressure control valve -2-.

– Open valve -4- and wait until test system is pressurised. If
necessary, adjust pressure to 0.5 bar again.
– Check charge air system for audible leaks or leaks that can be
felt with the hand; apply commercially available leak detecting
spray or use ultrasonic tester - V.A.G 1842- .
Note
♦ A small amount of air escapes through the valves and enters

the engine. Therefore it is not possible to perform a pressure
retention test.
